The Above Period

In the unfolding revelation shared by Ministry Revealed, a unique period has been uncovered — a span of 50 days between the Escape of the Bride and the beginning of the 14-year Tribulation. This blog explains what this "Above Period" is, why it matters, and how it is rooted in Scripture, the heavens, and the agricultural cycles of Israel.

Note: This study is not about date setting. It is about discerning patterns in Scripture and creation that reveal the season — not the exact day — of coming prophetic fulfillment.


Why "Above"? A Clue from Paul

The name "The Above Period" is drawn from 2 Corinthians 12:2, where Paul says:

"I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago... such an one caught up to the third heaven."

This cryptic phrase points to a moment "above" — a time of separation and elevation — before a 14-year period begins. Ministry Revealed interprets this as referring to the Escape of the Bride: a group caught up to the third heaven before the Tribulation (the 14 years).

It is a time not fully understood by the natural mind — just as Paul says "whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know." The same mystery surrounds the Bride’s removal. She is taken — yet not seen.

A 50-Day Prophetic Pattern

Scripture shows that between Firstfruits and Pentecost there is a 50-day count (Leviticus 23:15–16). This count is rich with prophetic meaning:

  • Enoch was taken to heaven at age 365, symbolic of a full year — and he represents the one who "walked with God and was not."

  • Jesus was seen 40 days after the resurrection, followed by 10 more days before the Spirit came at Pentecost.

  • Noah’s flood had a pattern of 7 days, then 40 days, then a waiting period — echoed again here.

In the prophetic model revealed by Ministry Revealed, the 50-day period includes:

  1. The Escape of the Bride — a hidden, unexpected removal of a sanctified group

  2. 7 Days of the Wedding — like Jacob’s week with Leah (Genesis 29)

  3. 40 Days of the Son of Man — Jesus returns like in Luke 17 to warn the world

  4. 3 Final Days — culminating in the start of global judgment as Seals open

Celestial Signs and the Restoration of the Year

Genesis 1:14 declares that the sun, moon, and stars are given for signs and appointed times. Over time, however, the calendar drifted. Through precession of the equinoxes, the sun and moon no longer align in the constellations as they did at Creation.

The true biblical year began when the sun and full moon were both in Taurus, the sign of the ox — a symbol of strength, service, and sacrifice. Taurus is associated with Aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and prophetically with the burden-bearing Bride.

In 2025–2026, something remarkable occurs: the sun and full moon once again meet in Taurus — just as they did in Genesis. This alignment is rare, and prophetically signals a return to the original calendar — and the true season of harvest.

The moon moves from black (hidden) to full (revealed), just as the Bride moves from obscurity to glory.

The Witness of the Harvest Cycle

This celestial reset is confirmed on earth by the harvest cycle in Israel:

  • Barley represents Christ — the firstfruits of the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:20). Barley is the earliest to ripen and is waved during the Feast of Firstfruits.

  • Winter wheat, planted in fall and maturing later in spring, symbolizes the Bride — hidden, matured under pressure, and offered first. It is the choicest part of the wheat harvest.

  • Spring wheat ripens in early summer and is linked to the Church, which is gathered mid-Tribulation as the main body of believers.

  • Grapes, harvested last in late summer to early fall, represent Judah — the house of Israel that endures through the final judgment and is refined in the winepress of Tribulation (Isaiah 63:2–3, Revelation 14:18–20).

Scripture supports this order:

  • "But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept." (1 Corinthians 15:20)

  • "The feast of weeks... the firstfruits of wheat harvest" (Exodus 34:22)

  • "These were redeemed... being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb." (Revelation 14:4)

  • "That we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures." (James 1:18)

  • Jesus’ parables use wheat to describe the children of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:24–30)

  • "The winepress was trodden... and blood came out" (Revelation 14:20) — showing grapes (Judah) under judgment

The Bride, like winter wheat, is hidden through the cold season and ripens in spring — matured early and taken first, ahead of the main summer harvest. Judah, like the grape, is crushed and refined last.

This confirms that the season of the Bride’s Escape is not random. It aligns with the celestial full moon in Taurus, the agricultural ripening of wheat, and the prophetic 50-day count.

Why Tu B’Shevat?

Tu B’Shevat, the 15th day of the 11th month, is known as the New Year for Trees. It is when the fruit trees of Israel are judged to determine their readiness.

  • It coincides with late January to early February — the time when the sun and moon align in Taurus in 2026.

  • It falls exactly 50 days before the corrected Pentecost — placing it at the start of the Above Period.

Thus, Tu B’Shevat becomes a prophetic marker of firstfruits — both in nature and in the heavens.

The End of 70 Years

According to Luke 21, Jerusalem would be trodden down until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Ministry Revealed teaches that a 70-year countdown began with Jerusalem’s citizenship law and UN recognition (1949–1956).

That count ends in early 2026. The Escape must therefore come before that — just as judgment fell after the door of Noah’s Ark was shut. The Bride escapes at the close of the 70th year, and then the Tribulation begins.

Final Sequence (Summary)

  • October 2025 – True New Year (Aviv 1) begins

  • Late Jan / Early Feb 2026 – Tu B’Shevat and Escape of the Bride

  • 7 Days – Wedding

  • 40 Days – Son of Man ministry

  • 3 Days – Final warnings and betrayal

  • April 2026 – Pentecost and opening of the Seals

Watch and Be Ready

The Above Period is not just a prophetic theory — it’s a divine pattern repeating from Genesis to Revelation, confirmed by Scripture, the stars, and the harvest.

We are not setting dates, but we are identifying the season.

"Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things." — Luke 21:36

The Prophetic Significance of Pope Leo XIV: A 14-Year Countdown to Christ’s Return

Image
As global tensions rise and prophetic signs appear to converge, many believers are watching the times with renewed urgency. Among these developments is the recent election of Pope Leo XIV —a name that, to some, carries striking symbolic weight. In the world of biblical prophecy, names and numbers often speak louder than they appear. Could “Leo,” meaning lion in Latin, be a providential signal pointing to Jesus Christ—the Lion of the tribe of Judah ? And does the number XIV (14) point to a 14-year prophetic timeline , marking the final countdown to His return? In this article, we explore the significance of the Pope’s name, the biblical meaning behind the number 14, and how these align with Israel’s prophetic restoration and the timeline laid out in Scripture. Drawing from Daniel’s 70 Weeks prophecy, the Gospels, and key passages in Revelation, we’ll examine the possibility that the final 14 years before Christ’s return may have just begun . The Lion of Judah: A Symbol of Christ’s ...

From Jubilee to Return: How Jesus’ Prophetic Clock Still Ticks Today

Image
📖 Introduction When Jesus stood in the synagogue of Nazareth and read from Isaiah 61, declaring "the acceptable year of the Lord" (Luke 4:18-21), He was doing more than quoting prophecy. He was initiating a divine countdown. That moment in Tishri 30–31 AD marked the beginning of the Jubilee cycle — a sacred 49-year rhythm of restoration, release, and redemption outlined in Leviticus 25 . This cycle has spiritual and agricultural dimensions, and it leads directly to our time. In our earlier blog post on Pope Leo XIV , we explored how the 70 years from the fig tree prophecy point to 2025–2026 as the beginning of the 14-year Tribulation, and to 2039–2040 as the year of Christ’s return. In this study, we will show how both the Messianic- and Agricultural timelines converge on 2039–2040 through the counting of sabbath cycles. By backtracking 14 years from that final Jubilee year, we gain strong prophetic support for identifying 2025–2026 as the likely starting point of the Tri...
